| This study aimed to determine the effects of total mixed ration (TMR) containing oil palm frond silage (OPFS) as a source of roughage mixed with fibrolytic enzyme on feed intake, growth performance and carcass characteristics of goats. Sixteen male Bore x Thai native goats, 10-12 months old with average live weight 13.37±1.40 kg, were used in this study. Goats were allotted according to completely randomized design to receive TMR diet containing OPFS (roughage) to concentrate ratio at 60:40 (on a DM basis) and mixed with fibrolytic enzyme at 0 (control) (T1), 2 (T2), 4 (T3) and 6 (T4) g/kg DM of TMR. All diets were fed ad libitum to goats for 90 days. From the results, goats received non-supplemented (T1) and supplemented with fibrolytic enzyme (T2 to T4)... |
